Why did you think that localhost sockets activation is not deterministic ?
When local process use localhost sockets, there is no transmission media 
with
risk of packet loss, alteration, random latency, or reordering.

AFAIK, dbus is designed to never loss a message under normal workload. 
Future
kdbus will probably be even better on that matter.
